Thank you, Madam Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for being here this morning.
My first question is for Mr. Fuller.
The Port of Montreal has a particular approach to the rail network. Indeed, its competitiveness and performance are linked to the Montreal model, which emphasizes a certain independence between the port and railway companies, including CN. Moreover, the funding provided by the federal government is aimed at improving intermodality to meet increased demand.
I have three questions for you.
Is the CN network able to handle the increase in rail freight traffic?
What are the main obstacles that can hinder the flow of trade by rail?
What steps is CN taking to address these issues?
